Classic G or modern G ?

Hi everyone!
I bought a 1986 300GD for 3'000€ a month ago, I'll get it delivered this week, and I just read that they weren't officially available in the US but that they were grey market imports, but they're rare. do you prefer the old or new one?)

I'd love to have a diesel G of any vintage!

I'd love to have a 2021 G400D, but super sadly, we can't buy them in the US. I'd pay as much, and a lot more, for a new G400D than what I paid for my G63.

Considering that the old one rides slightly better than a soviet UAZ, the new one.

Your wish has been granted!

For me, I prefer a more classic, but went as far back as I felt comfortable for my first W463, so 2005. If I ever do get enough garage space/time, I'll add an older one to the stable.
